Infection free, but...

As ecstatic as I am that my bone infection is gone, I am slightly frustrated by how I feel today, making what I said in yesterday's post seem especially true - I will continue to feel crumby until the antibiotics are stopped in three months. Last night I had terrible stomach issues, and today I am exhausted. I don't know how to describe it... but it is that horrible exhaustion you feel all through your body and into your eyelids, as if they are trying to force themselves shout. I'm actually a bit nervous about how cruddy I feel. After a year of antibiotics I am afraid what my immune system is like, and am a bit skeptical about how well I will hold up once classes begin in seven weeks. I don't want to catch every bug and cold going around campus.

Speaking of school, I have decided to take only two courses first semester - Latin (because I am a nerd), and Astronomy (because I still need to fill my science context credit). This year will be a kind of catch up. It is almost convenient actually... both Latin and Astronomy have 3 lectures a week, compared to the usual one, so they make it hard to fit in other subjects on certain days, so I don't have to worry about any of that. So my schedule, once I am allowed to register on Tuesday should be 1-2pm Astronomy, 3-4pm Latin on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and one seminar fit in somewhere which means I have plenty of time to feel better and finish of last year. In the second semester I will add two half history credits, which fit well with the Astronomy/Latin schedule. Phew! What a relief.

I should have taken last semester easy, but I didn't, so I will have to do it now. Now if my stomach would just feel better...

Oh, just a last minute note. The picture on the left shows what I was taking before today, and the one on the right shows what I take now. Back to pre-surgery doses! The white pills are the Septra, and the orange are Cehpalexin.
